Wes Thompson Poems

When dusk dissolves the last shreds of light,
Do heroes lay awake at night?
Or do they dream, brilliant days to come-
With a winning smile, good deeds all done?
...

I have been told
that men who slay monsters
are but monsters to be
as I feel the night sky
...

the calm
cool face of the river
asked not for a
kiss
...

she doesn't know who I am
when it comes down to me
I think to myself
we can never be again
...

you can convince yourself
of just about anything
if you're not sure what you want
not quite sure who you've been
...

If life was lived
Would hearts tear tattered sleeve?
If life was loved
Would I kill to be free?
...

When sleeping I lay awake in bed,
While dreamless, time calls to the dead.
The stars drip past a vampire moon,
Horizon sheds the sun too soon.
...

does it make a difference
if i say it's not about you?
but the strangest reaction;
after reading it three times over-
...

golden ripples slowly sway
toward my feet
where awaiting bubbles burst
like humming angels
...

I was the simple coloured thread
he spent hours weaving
to tie around your ankle
and the song she sang along to
...
